President Roosevelt tells Ambassador Francis that Francis’s predecessor, Bellamy Storer, had been derelict in his duty, and advises him on several actions he could take to begin repairing the damage Storer caused. Roosevelt is not happy about how the Austrian government is handling immigration to the United States and advises Francis to take an interest in immigration and naturalization matters. He also advises Francis to remember that he is ambassador to both Austria and Hungary, and to make sure to not neglect the Hungarian side of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and to carefully contact Count Albert Apponyi to begin reaching out.
